| Frequent
Flyer Point Optimisation |
Frequent
flyer points open the door to a world of
opportunities. Using points, you can travel
to almost anywhere in the world. You can
even fly in the comfort of Business or First
class!
Many of us try to simply accumulate as many
frequent flyer points as possible. But with
a little bit of planning and thoughtful goal
setting, your points can take you much
further! Instead of first earning points and
then deciding how to redeem them, our
members suggest doing this the other way
around... and for good reason.

Fuel Crisis Cancels Flights |
| Dozens
of flights to and from
Auckland, New Zealand have
been cancelled over the past
fortnight. Many long-haul
flights departing Auckland
have also been forced to
make costly diversions
en-route. The cause of the
chaos is a severe shortage
of fuel at Auckland Airport
that could last up to two
weeks. Until the fuel supply
is restored, Auckland
Airport has asked airlines
to carry enough fuel on
arriving flights to also
cover the return journey.
